Lactose in enough quantities gets my tummy rumbling in a bad way so I’m trying out alternatives.
Oat milk in hipster coffee drinks is pretty good.
Soy milk as a protein and calcium beverage is fine. Tastes OK.
There is lactose-free milk too but that is still suspect. Either it’s not all the way lactose free or too much of any kind of dairy quakes my intestines.
Soy milk from an asian grocery store tastes a lot better. Buy the ones that have chinese text on them and make sure it’s the refrigerated and perishable kind. Get the organic ones if you can afford it.
Trust me, Chinese people have been perfecting soy milk for thousands of years. It’s thoroughly cooked and processed to remove that raw bean taste and weird texture that I’ve had in a lot of American brands like Silk.
